LARYSA MYERS
The paintings and drawings of Larysa Myers explore personal history through the universal and the cyclical, the mythological and the contemporary. Her work often reflects on the ideas of motherhood or femininity and its dualities - the body is reduced to a female archetype, as the form is silhouetted and manipulated. Settings are domestic, wild, mundane, and fantastical, each opening into different parts of the psyche and identity.
Larysa Myers studied drawing and painting at Grand Central Academy and textile design at Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Recent group exhibitions include Aura at Wilder Gallery, London (2023), Paintings of Common Objects at Fortnight Institute (2023), Charta on the Fortnight Institute Salon (2022), Night Scenes at Tiger Strikes Asteroid, New York, NY (2021), and Soft Temple at Mother Gallery, Beacon, NY (2019). Her work has been featured in Maake Magazine and ArtMaze Mag.
